Tow new consultant in this comagny Nintex Reporting 2008 - I'm Consulting with Nintex :
It's now official. I am now consulting with Nintex, my role is focused on technical evanglism and product management. I've been watching Nintex and talking with them for months. Lots of promise.
I'm really excited about the new Nintex Reporting 2008. You'll hear more about this tool here on my blog over the next few days and especially at TechEd.
You might have also heard Mike Fitzmaurice is now at Nintex. It's true, today was his first day and I was there as well. It was totally cool hanging with Fitz and the Nintex USA crew in Bellevue, WA headed up by Brett Campbell. Great team, solid company. Note you should update your blog roll for Fitz as he now has a blog at FitzBlog 2.0.
Don't worry if you were planning on seeing me this summer at various other sessions, training or community events... My new role should continue to integrate well into my existing plans. If you haven't follwed... I am very involved in a number of other things this summer. If you run into me, please ask for a demo of Nintex Reporting or if you check this out at TechEd Developer or IT Pro please let them know that I referred you, or that you heard about it from my blog.

Linking SharePoint to Outlook 2007
Linking SharePoint to Outlook 2007 As indicated by the title of this article, these features are only available with Outlook 2007 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007. Starting with Office 2007 Microsoft has provided direct integration between the Office client and server. This integration should help organizations to collaborate more effectively. In addition, these features should assist in the migration away from using Public Folders in Exchange for some of the areas covered below....

SharePoint Training - SharePoint End User Trining Kit
View the end user training content. (SharePoint End User Trining Kit)
Click on the "End User Training" tab above to view how the training will look when installed on your server (you can change the theme if you don't like the lively yellow ;-)
You will need to log on as corp\demouser with a password of pass@word1
Installing the SharePoint and Designer Training Kits?
There are a couple of common problems that people have experienced when installing the portal version of the training kits so I thought I would cover off a few of the expectations and known problems with SharePoint environments.
The training kits are based on the SharePoint Learning Kit which is an application in its own right that exposes management, configuration and user interaction through SharePoint pages. Although you don't have to install the SLK as it is included with the training kit, if you want to understand more about how the e-learning platform works you should look at http://www.codeplex.com/slk
Download locations for the training kits are:

5 Rules to Live By When Interviewing for a SharePoint Job
In France, we have the same PB, a lot of compagny goes on MOSS, and after need training and knowledge : "There are a ton of blogs out there that tell you "questions to ask when interviewing a SharePoint person" which will help give you a baseline for what you should know technically. However, technical interview questions are somewhat easy to answer if you have done enough of them. I am not talking about the technical part of the interview, i'm more talking about how you are selling yourself as a SharePoint person to a client, which is important for you, but mostly important for the client in which you are interviewing." say Rob Foster
Rule 1: Know your specialty
The SharePoint platform is huge. I mean HUGE. You can specialize in most anything and just because you are a specialist in one area, you can't be grandfathered in as being a specialist in another area. For example, I specialize in SharePoint as it pertains to Social Networking and My Sites.
Does this make me an expert in Web Content Management (WCM) or the Business Data Catalog (BDC)? OF COURSE NOT!
Being honest, I haven't done much with the BDC, don't claim to be an expert, don't want to be (I'll leave that to Nick Swan). :-)
Know your specialty, be an expert in that specialty and then expand out. This can win you a lot of points and can give you a way to provide your client or potential employeer real value.
Rule 2: Try to understand what the client is trying to do with SharePoint
Ask questions during the interview, but don't give advice unless asked. Giving advice without fully understanding the environment that you are in can easily cause you to tank the interview. Even if you have answered everything perfectly, you can easily leave an impression that you are careless and don't think through situations if you "shoot from the hip".
Rule 3: Do not BS your answers
You would think that this is obvious, but folks I'm here to say that this happens more than not. If this is applicable to you, one of two things are going to happen.
Scenario 1: There is somewhat of a lack of understanding of the SharePoint platform in the management levels (e.g. the people that you will likely talk to at some point in your interview) that you can likely use some snazzy buzzwords and make it through. However, when the rubber meets the road and you actually have to deliver a solution, you can quickly get in over your head and will either not deliver or deliver something that doesn't scale, doesn't work, or is just screwed up.
Scnerio 2: During the interview, someone that is interviewing you understands the platform and knows you're blowing smoke. End result: you won't get the gig and could hurt your chances for future gigs in that segment of the market. Let's face it, being a SharePoint person is a small community of people (compared to larger technologies like ASP.NET, C#, etc.) and they do talk (we're collaboration people, remember!).
Bottom line, just be honest. If you don't know, just say so...Being in an interview (of any type) is not like an evening at the improv.
Rule 4: You can't save the world with SharePoint, don't sell it that way
Yes, the SharePoint platform can do a lot and offers a lot to the enterprise. Don't try to go in and cure cancer with SharePoint. SharePoint implementations require a lot of planning and design to ensure success.
That's right folks...
Despite the myths, SharePoint IS a platform that is constantly evolving and companies must plan for this. This rule is more for companies than for people that are interviewing. Bottom line is that if someone tries to come in and solve all of your business problems with SharePoint in something crazy like 2 weeks, you might want to think very hard before making the decision to hire.
Rule 5: Constantly hone your craft
As with any product or platform, you are going to experience some ups and downs with SharePoint. Use this experience and learn from your successes and mistakes.
It will help you in the future.
Also, highlight these experiences in your interview.
How did you solve a problem when your SharePoint application took a nose dive?
---
Hopefully that it will give you something to think about as well as help you out when you go for that next SharePoint job.

In this article, we will show you how to automate custom SharePoint application deployments by taking advantage of the SharePoint API. Following this approach allows you to avoid having to create and maintain a custom site definition. You benefit from a more modular set of components to deploy and manage in your source control system, which is an essential part of a continuous integration effort. Finally, you are following a model that Microsoft will continue to improve in the coming years.
We will explain how you can leverage the SharePoint object model to automate deployment from Web application creation to Feature activation. The Visual Studio® code project included with this article provides a number of code samples that demonstrate how to automate some essential tasks in a custom deployment.
Along the way, we will explore tools and techniques provided by Microsoft and members of the SharePoint developer community that we have found to be especially valuable in your quest toward a fully automated deployment.
